Holiday Beaujolais Nouveau

Holiday "Bezolai Nouveau" or a new wine year!
Beaujolais Nouveau (New Beaujolais) - a variety of young French wine produced from Games grapes in the historical region of France Beaujolais (Burgundy).
Immediately after the end of the technological process of winemaking (fermentation), 6 weeks after harvesting grapes, the young wine goes on sale.
According to the laws and traditions of France, the presentation of fresh harvesting is happening in the third Thursday of November. This day is called the "Holiday Bezolai".

The motto of this holiday is the French phrase "Le Beaujolais Est Arrivé!" ("Borrowla arrived!"). In Paris and other cities there are street walking and fun in various entertainment places.
This wine has a bright, sharp taste with an impitectic fruit aroma. Easy, alive, with a bright character, highlighting tones of currant, cherries and raspberries and emphasizing a brilliant and transparent red beverage. It is recommended to use cooled to 13 ° C, meat cuts and cheeses are usually used as snacks. Bezolai is not intended for long-term storage, it usually consumes him to take a maximum of March behind the harvest of the year. Wine manufacturers try to start the "implementation" of their products as early as possible. Due to the rapid ripening of wine obtained from Games, Burgundy winemakers in the middle of the XIX century began to carry out a profitable campaign for sales of the "first" wine

A little story of the holiday of young wine.
Once in the old days in France, they celebrated November 11, on the day of St. Martin. But on November 11, 1918, a truce agreement was signed in the First World War. This date was the day of the victims of the dead, after which the fun and walking on this day became inappropriate.
On September 8, 1951, France took the decree, according to which the Beaujolais of the current year in the country is allowed to sell no earlier than December 15. However, at the insistence of BEAUJOLAIS winemakers, an exception was subsequently made for them, and the young Beaujolais appeared at the very beginning of November. In 1967, the government again restricted the date of the beginning of the sale of Borrow-Navo at midnight on November 15. In 1985, this date was established as the third Thursday of November.

Personal experience or holiday of young wine 2016 in Paris
In 2016, on 3 Thursday, November came on the 17th. After reading about the holiday, having studied his story and even some technologies, I decided to personally see how ordinary French spend it. For this I chose Restaurant "Le Nord-Sud" In Paris (behind Montmartre, where local Parisians usually walk)

bar Restaurant "NORD-SUD" in Paris

How dark, in this kabask began a walking. Music, wine, fragrances of French cuisine ... Later there was a pleasant surprise - live music with a local popular ensemble.

The restaurant presented Beaujolais Nouveau two brands:
"MAISON LAFFOND" and "LAURENT THEVENET"
Wine cost: price of glass 14 CL \u003d 3.5 euros, glass 25 CL \u003d 7 euros, glass 50 CL \u003d 13 euro, bottle 75 CL \u003d 19 EU. A strange system, the larger amount you order, the more expensive it is worth it. It is more profitable to buy small glasses, actually that the French are doing. It may be because less than once the bartender will receive tips, but the Parisians do not seek tips, and then quite a little thing.

Here are great and seafood - oysters, shrimps, crabs ... But since the holiday of red wine, and the fish is put on white, so the design of the seafood restaurant is separate here ...

Pretty surprised surprised the performance of the rock band "Les Sexes Faibles". Bartenders, restaurant immigrants, the management of the institution seems to know the musicians personally and good. Dancing went, which, as the next cup, moved more and reached dance on the tables and bar racks. That's really friendly atmosphere. After the dances on the racks, everyone moved to the street, depicting the Toli "Vosik" whether the dance "Yaka-Yahenka". It ended all hours in 2 or 3 nights. Morning, naturally, was "gloomy"
